Stable Employment

Basic Policy on Human Resources

The Toshiba Group Human Resources Management Policy regards human resources as Toshiba's greatest asset and stipulates that employees should be provided with various opportunities to enable them to realize their unlimited potential, and to encourage them to develop their skills and maximize their value. Based on this Policy, we ensure that labor conditions conform to the relevant laws and regulations. Furthermore, having established the action guidelines for stable employment, which were accepted by both labor and management, we are carrying out business activities in line with the spirit of these guidelines.

Promoting Labor-Management Dialogue

We provide various opportunities to promote labor-management dialogue in order to facilitate labor-management relations and corporate business activities. Labor and management have agreed that important matters such as business plans, business performance, and major organizational reforms must be periodically explained to the labor union, and that some other matters such as any change in labor conditions must be discussed in advance between labor and management.
